I would love to give one to my Mom but she is not a huge cook.  Only out of absolute necessity. She is the complete opposite of me when it comes to all things domestic.  Maybe when she comes to Germany next year and sees it in action.  But every time I bubble and fizz over my latest creations over the phone, I can feel her rolling her eyes towards the sky and wonder what on earth she created by having a son like me!!!!!  I love setting tables, pretty matching crockery and fancy glassware but Mom would rather take people to a restaurant! I can but try!

I used to be a restaurant person as well as the area we live in in Melbourne is seething with cafes and restaurants but now, since we got our TMX, we rarely go out.  We have one take away each week from our local Thai restaurant and, unless I forget to take something out of the freezer or simply work too, too late to prepare something and we have to resort to one of the local restaurants, it's home cooked every night for us and that is saving us heaps of money (apart from the fact that I cook more than enough food on a weekend to put into the freezer that we HAVE to eat at home so that there is enough room in the freezer for me to put more food into next week - does that make sense?)

Lee, good luck with converting Mum but after all this time I hardly think she will change her ways.  You never know though, the TMX works in mysterious ways and if she has never seen it in action, then she really wouldn't understand your passion and excitement.  You are probably right, she would be rolling her eyes listening to you rave on about something she doesn't understand.  When she visits, you may have to chain her to the bench to force her to watch what thermie can do as she will probably rather be out doing the touristy thing  ;) Didn't your Nana want to buy her one a bit back?

I'm very good at making even simple things confusing - I've been practicing for the past 50++++ years!

Nana would pay for it absolutely but I think it might turn into the home gym scenario - an item to dry the tea towels on!  And that would be a very expensive drying rack
